Im 16 getting a permit very soon, working at a summer job and when the summer is over, going to work at a local pet store or grocery store (part time because of school, so ill be getting minimum wage..) By the end of the summer, i will have about 1,300. As you can see, im looking at a ninja '08 but of course thats not set in stone because i am only 16. But I am really dedicated to have the time for it and I am trying to get the money now. My dad said he will probably put me on his insurance, but since it is a motorcycle and I am young, I'm not sure how much the insurance is... Also, I have read 10,000 people say the Ninja 250 is a really good beginner bike, so if anything i would buy a used one. How much would the used bike, insurance, equitment (helmet, etc), and locks for the bike cost in total?

Thxx a lot

Long but please read: Let me start from the beginning. When I met him he was smoking weed and I didn't know about it, he was a pot head. One time i caught him doing outside of my house, how stupid can you be..and i broke it off with him that night. After that night, he promised he would change. That he really liked me, that he would change for me. So i gave him a chance. He was my first everything pretty much. My parents didn't like him because they found out that he was smoking weed outside of our house, and on top of that he would pick me up everyday after school and we would have sex in my house. At the time i was 17 turning 18, in my senior year. My sister's ex bf didn't like my ex, so he decided to tell my parents what was going on, he knew what was going on because my sister told him..i was really pissed off at the time but then i realized that it wasn't right and it was disrespectful..Anyways everyone kept telling me that i could do better..Another thing i disliked was that he smoked cigs..i hated that..I told him to quit many times, and he would tell me that he had quit and i would find the packs..it really hurt me that he kept lying to me, and then i finally made a compromise with him, to cut down the amount little by little, and now today he has stopped smoking. It got to a point that i didn't really want to kiss him because i was just disgusted by it. Another thing, his dad bought him a motorcycle, and he knew that i hated motorcycles because my dad had a real bad accident, he almst died..so we argued alot about this! He even had a motorcycle accident, a few scrapes and a weak leg, and he wasn't wearing helmet..i was very upset and told him that he is lucky that is all that happened to him, after that he kept riding his damn motorcycle, i almost broke up with him because of it. Oh he even told my mom we were having sex on prom nite because she kept calling all nite, I was humiliated, I wasn't ready to tell her this! Anyway when I met him he was taking emt courses and was failing because he wasn't studying. At the time he was working at chillis, and we barely saw each other. We would talk on the phone alot, and i really liked talking to him. I was never unfaithful to him. Then sometime while he was working at chillis he got arrested for credit card swiping. At the time i was really suspicious because he was buying alot of gifts and taking me out 2 eat, and then he finally confessed to me what he did. I was soo uspet at him. I remember him telling me something about it, but i never thought he would actually do it. So before all this had happened, he broke up with me because we were having alot of drama, with my parents not liking him and my mom threatnening to call the cops, and he couldn't take it anymore, and that i deserved better than him..and he was right. Then some time after that he starts texting me out of no where that he misses me, that he can't live without me, and this is in the middle of the night, and then one day I see him at the club with his friend, and Im with my friends dancing, and he won't take his eyes off me, later on he asks me to dance and i don't know why I say yes..and he starts telling me that he misses me again, and he tries to kiss me and I don't let him and I begin to cry and tell him that I can't do it anymore and I walk away, then after some more time as im studying in the library the messages start again, and i give in. We start seeing each other secretly, meeting in motels, and i start lying saying that I am going to the library.. and then i finally tell my parents that i am seeing him again, and my mom n dad don't like it..my dad even told me that if i ever married him that he wouldn't go to my wedding, that i could do so much better, and that he didn't want to talk to me, eventually he did start talking to me though. So when he got arrested, his dad bailed him out and he called me crying, that he was so sorry for what he put me through, that he was happy that i was in his life, that many other girls wouldn't have put up with it, and that i was the good in his life. So obviously, he got fired from chillis and he began working with his dad. He had plans to start a bussiness, he had alot of plans. Through all this i supported him because I loved him, despite everything. He changed because of me, he told me that i was the positive influence in his life, and his parents and sister told me the same. They loved me, and they were so good to me, i grew really attached to them. Then some time later he decides to go back to school, he found a good job that pays for school as long as he maintains his grades. He was very smart, but made alot of stupid mistakes. I loved how affectionate he could be with me, but there were times that he was an asshole..he had anger problems, he would flip out easily.. i am really bad with directions and he called me stupid and retarded one time, and then when i would cry later on he would tell me that he was sorry and that he didn't mean it,

I started riding a yamaha scooter when i was 9. I then progressed to a suzuki 185 enduro. Then when I was 15 i bought a Honda xr650 to ride around the farm (which i put a few thousand miles on) when i was 16 i got my motorcycle permit so i could ride with my dad and I then bought a 2006 Yamaha FZ6. I put over 11,000mi on it before i ended up selling it. The reason i sold it was because one of my best friends was killed on his Kawasaki 636, but.........that was the first bike he had ever ridden and had ever owned. So now, almost a year later, my question is should i get another bike? The bike i have dreamed about since i was a kid was the Yamaha r6, and that is what i would love to get. I realize it wasn't the bike that killed him, it was rider inexperience and error. Let me know what you think!!!!!!!!
Thanks,
Brian

Alright, I'm only 16 1/2 and I just started riding motorcycles.
For my 16th birthday my dad gave me (it was his from when he was 16) a 1978 Yamaha 650 but I was also thinking about buying a crotch rocket except I dont know that much about them. Please give me some info on what would be a good crotch rocket to buy.
Most I want to spend is ,500

Riding my 2008 FLSTC from FT Hood, TX to northern CA, Missoula, MT and back to TX. I'm taking leave from the Army before a deployment to Afghanistan to see my Dad and friends. Looking for some biker friendly establishments and places to see, eat at, and stay along the way. I know its gonna be a long trip, so any thing would help. If you have a road and you wanna show me while I'm in your area just send me an email. I'm always looking to meet new people and explore new places!

As the woman passed her daughter's closed bedroom door, she heard a strange buzzing noise coming from within. Opening the door, she observed her daughter giving herself a real workout with a vibrator.
Shocked, she asked, "What in the world are you doing?" Requires a Java Enabled Browser.
The daughter replied, "Mom, I'm thirty-five years old, unmarried, and this thing is about as close as I'll ever get to a husband. Please, go away and leave me alone."
The next day, the girl's father heard the same buzz coming from the other side of the closed bedroom door. Upon entering the room, he observed his daughter making passionate love to her vibrator.
To his query as to what she was doing, the daughter said, "Dad, I'm thirty-five years old, unmarried, and this thing is about as close as I'll ever get to a husband. Please, go away and leave me alone."
A couple days later, the wife came home from shopping trip, placed the groceries on the kitchen counter, and heard that buzzing noise coming from, of all places, the family room. She entered that area and observed her husband sitting on the couch, staring at the TV.
The vibrator was next to him on the couch, buzzing like crazy.
The wife asked, "What the hell are you doing?"
The husband replied, "I'm watching the ball game with my son-in-law."

Once upon a time there was a frog who lived in a lake all by himself.
He had been given special powers by a local witch.
One day he finally Link to Laughin' at Laden ventured out of the lake to get his first glimpse of the world outside. The first thing he saw was a bear chasing a rabbit and so he called out to them and asked them to stop.
Then he said to them "I am a magical frog and since you are the first two animals I have ever seen, I am going to grant you both three wishes. You will each take turns using them and you have to use them now."
The bear (being greedy) went first. "I would like for every bear in this forest to be female except for me." A magical sound and it was done
Then the rabbit said "I would like a helmet."
This confused both the frog and the bear, but after a magical sound there was a helmet.
It was the bear's turn again "I would like for every bear in the neighboring forest to be female." A magical sound and it was done.
The rabbit went again. "I would like a motorcycle."
Both the frog and the bear wondered why the rabbit didn't just ask for a lot of money and then he could buy himself a motorcycle, but after a magical sound there was a motorcycle.
The bear took his last wish. "I would like for all the bears in the world to be female except for me." A magical sound and it was done.
The rabbit then put on his helmet, started up the motorcycle, and said
"I wish the bear was gay" and took off like a bat out of hell."

She knows I'm responseable enough but is afraid of her little boy growing up. My dad is ok with it as long as she is.

I'm 17 years old and I just got my first job by the end of the summer I'll have somewhere around 3.5 grand and I'm keeping the job during the school year on saturdays and sundays, so I was thinking instead of me wasting all my money on computer parts building a PC like I was planning on or a game console or anything why not buy something I might need in the future and would make things easier for me so I thought MOTORCYCLEEEEEEE my dad used to ride one in Afghanistan and highly encouraged me but now I think he's having some second thoughts.. My mother I know is going to have a heart attack thinking of me riding it, and pretty much all of my friends think I'm an idiot for wanting to ride one. I was never scared about riding a bike before I always thought as long as you're prepared mentally, have the skill, and good gear your life isn't in extreme danger, plus I've seen more car crashes than bike crashes and I'm not afraid. How should I convince my family that I'm ready I was thinking just taking some motorcycle lessons and then proving to them I'm able to do it. I want to ride the motorcycle from and to school in the city I live in queens so it's about a 30 minute trip.

One last question how much do you think insurance will cost me I'm 17 year old male living in NYC planning on getting a Kawasaki Ninja 250R.
I'm turning 18 on Jan 4

Ok, I wrote an introduction to this quesiton that was longer than some books, so I just started over because otherwise I'd never get any answers 'cause the intro was longer than the freaking question itself. I'll try to keep it "to the point", but I have always had trouble with that. I ramble. I'm a rambler and I rant. I'm a ranter, putting in millions of details that have nothing to due with the topic. OK - my dad buys his second motorcycle as he is wanting to get into riding. I have been riding every year weather permitting for 13 year and I know my way around a bike pretty good. I have never owned a harley davidson, only Yamaha's and kawasaki's. The first bike my dad bought was a Kawasaki. He's been taking riding lessons from me for free, and he also signed up for a course at our local community college that is taught by guys who've been riding for centuries, and they'll teach him things that even I don't know. So one day we are driving and there's a sparkling clean sportster (1200 XLH) sitting on the side of the road ("for sale sign clearly visible"). I call the number and offer the guy 00 as it's a 1990 and has 15,000 miles on it, although the bike is FLAWLESS and loaded with aftermarket shiny things, although all moving parts are stock. He accepts. I tell him that it's actually my dad who is interested and I'll have him call back later. He does, and sets up a test ride (to be performed by me) the next day. We go, I ride (I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS wear a helmet), but I didn't on this test ride because I had to be able to hear EVERYTHING IN THE ENGINE, ETC. So I ride for about 10 minutes and the bike is in such incredible condition I just can't believe it. I report back and dad agrees to buy it on the spot. The next day he pays the guy and get's the temp tag and insures it. Tonight I went down and picked it up. While we were in the guys large and spotless garage, fully equipped with about 10 motorcycles, 3 cars, and 4 toolbenches, I didn't see the expected accompanyment of tool kits. So I figure he outsources his maintainence. Ok. I turn the fuel switch to "on" from "off", and all of a sudden the bike is literally purging the entire tank of gas out of what appears to be a 1/4 inch rubber hose that someone had threaded between those iconic thin metal bars that run vertically from the crankcase up each side of the cylinders. The hose STARTS at the bottom of the air filter, although I don't thing it has anything to do with it and runs up direcly to the "OFF/ON/RESERVE" switch. So I quickly switch it off, and it stops leaking. The seller is horrified because he's already been paid and we haven't even taken possession yet, 2. The bike didn't do this when I rode it the day before, and 3. his dog bit my dad in the ass when he went over to pay him (and my dad is a lawyer, "bad combination of events"). So we spend 40 minutes trying to figure out first of all what the hell that hose is anyway.... Why is it now leaking fuel copiously, and was it originally connected to something else? did it become disconnected? Next I decide "ok, let's take it just outside of the garage, fire it up with the switch on "off", then turn it "on", which we did, and it still pissed fuel all over the ground. By this time I'd removed it from it's previous position up against the base of the outside of the lower part of the block (too hot for rubber hose, obviously), and I'd zip-tied it so it wouldn't touch the exhaust either. Ok, WTF!!!!???? So, in a last ditch attempt to just GET IT HOME, I decided to clamp it off. Between the 2 of us we decided to use a paper clamp (not clip, CLAMP), those black things with the little silver handles to open and close them that can be used to pinch other people for fun at the office. We also screwed a screw of slightly larger diameter than the inside of the hose into the end of it, and...... drumroll... IT STILL LEAKED, SOMEHOW, but to a lesser degree. He followed me home and the performance of the bike was severely compromised. I had to keep it revved at stop signs and it felt like it was missing on one of the cylinders occasionally. SO: WHAT IS THIS HOSE, WHAT IS IT'S PURPOSE, AND WHAT'S IT SUPPOSED TO DO? IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE HOOKED TO SOMETHING? IF SO, WHAT? PLEASE. I WILL RECANT ALL MY YEARS OF RIDING JAP BIKES IF SOMEONE WILL PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. Otherwise, I'm going to have to pay someone to do it and they might die of laughter from how stupid I am that I couldn't figure it out on my own. This bike is beautiful and I'm really hoping that it doesn't reinforce the rumor that Harley's are hanger queens (which is the only reason I hadn't bought one myself prior to this bike). I know that there is someone out there who can answer this in the blink of an eye. Also the oil/filter and plugs haven't been changed in friggin' trillions of years so I'm going to do that as soon as I can get the right plugs for it. I bought a case of 4 cycle bike oil about 3 years ago and I still haven't
used it all, so this oil change should finish it off. That maintainence I can do myself, but if I end up having to take the bike to my mechanic to have this hose thing figured out, I'll just have them change the plugs/oil/filter. Well, that about does it. If I remember anything else I'll post an update. Thank you all in advance for your help. I'm sorry I'm such a dumb-ass but this is my first Harley and I'm still basically a Harley virgin so I haven't found the g-spot on them yet. Thx, john in Iowa

I really want one but my mom thinks theirs no point and I'll kill my self the first day.

She knows I'm responseable enough but is afraid of her little boy growing up. My dad is ok with it as long as she is.

1. I'm 15, 2 mouths from my 16th birthday

2. The bike is a CBR600RR
http://powersports.honda.com/motorcycles/sport/model.asp?ModelName=CBR600RR&ModelYear=2008&ModelId=CBR600RR8

3. They're planing on buying me a car, but the bike is only 8,000

4. I like the looks of sports bikes and how they feel, so I'm not going to speed cause I know I can get hurt doing that on a bike.

5. South Carolina doesn't require helmets but I plan on wearing one along with other safty gear

6. gas mileage is alot better on bikes which is good with gas prices now.

7. The only wrong reason I want one is that girls like guys who ride bikes.

please only put anwswers that apply to my question and none that say how i'm to young
they wear planing on getting me a car a long time before I even wanted the bike
sorry if the "girls like guys with bikes" offended you, I only ment alot of girls I know
I driven bikes with alot more power, my uncle has acouple that he let my drive alone (i have a bike licence)
I've driven raceing qality bikes that have 1000cc
I have been driveing bikes for a year an a half parents don't know that but I do know how to ride. and the only place i ride FAST is at a drag strip my town has(no raceing)

I want to build something like this-
http://www.amazon.com/InStep-Take-2-Bike-Trailer/dp/B000EHY3G6/ref=pd_bbs_sr_4?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1236800464&sr=8-4

I have something I can use for the cloth top, but I need some ideas for the other parts. I thought maybe a square base and then PVC pipe to hold the cloth up. I don't know what I would make the base out of because it would have to be sturdy and water proof.

I also don't know how I would attach it to my bike. I also have a bike rack similar to this- http://www.amazon.com/Blackburn-1003202-EX-1-Bicycle-Rack/dp/B000BNS2U6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1236801137&sr=1-2

Any ideas?
Also, I'm trying to stay cheap compared to buying one, so please keep that in mind.
This trailer isn't for passengers or anything. I ride my bike to the store a lot and to summer marching band rehearsals, and I need something to carry a lot of stuff.

I have a lot of metal shelving for like, closets. We re-designed our house this year, and my dad replaced his sleving with something different. He saved all the old shelves.

I want a motorcycle really bad, but my mom says no. I am only going to ride my bike in the neighborhood and not on local streets, plus my neighborhood street almost nevr has a car in it. I am going to go like 5mph for a few days to get a feel for it. I promise to only go a maximum of 20mph after i get a feel for it. I also said I will pay for all and that i must buy the equipment(gloves,helmet,forearm pads, knee pads, and elbow pads.) before buying the bike. i must have my cellphone at all times, cant ride unless i have all my safety equipment on, no stupid stunts like wheelies or going off ramps, never go anywhere on it w/o telling her, no one else may ride it except for me. Also my parents are divorced and my dad doesn't care if i get one if i do what i say i am going to do, but my mom says no. On top of that when she doesn't like something she doesn't even let you finish a sentence.

I am trying to get my dad motorcycle up and running. Its a 2004 Honda crusier 650 CC. It hasnt run in over a year- he bought another bike so it went unused and I want to start riding. Where would I start to get it running and what parts and maintenance etc will I neeed to do. Also what would it approx. cost to get running like new?

I am buying a motorcycle tomorrow. I am also going to a 3 day class on how to ride. I am terrified. My boyfriend has been riding one for about 2 years now and i have been dead against it since my uncle's face was peeled off his body still in the helmet when he died in an accident. I was being taught to ....well....to be able to slowly let off the clutch untill i was just coasting. When i went to stop i got confused and did it too fast and dropped the bike on my right leg. I feel bad since i took a chunk of paint out, the mirror needs fixed and his foot brake bent into the bike. I am so clumsy and cannot even drive a manual car since i am so uncoordinated. How can i get my thoughts together to not panic on this thing? My son's dad passed when he was 4 and i'm all he has. I want to be able to ride though but lack confidence. Any stories or experiance advice or anything to make me feel not alone would be great. My b/f is sooo excited to be able to ride with me. Thanks! goodc71@yahoo.com
ok- I failed to provide some info....I am buying the bike today. It is a Suzuki S83 1400cc (formerly Intruder 1400cc). When i stand, both feet are flat on the ground and it feels like I have way more control than when i was on my b/f bike. He has a Honda Shadow 1200cc. His bike felt too bulky and i could reach the ground with tip toes. I am getting temps today and only practicing in a parking lot and taking the MC course in July. I will not be on the road with it untill then.

i wanted to buy the honda cbr 125r, but she said no. i asked if i could have a 49 cc scooter, and she still said no.

we were in a dirt road and the car in front of us was driving in the middle of the road. a motorcyclist popped up around the corner and he braked hard. the motorcyclist fell and dropped his bike. my mom pretty much freaked out cuz she saw a motorcyclist fall. she looked at motorcycles on the internet and saw people doing stunts and crazy stuff.. of course they got hurt and now my mom thinks they are extremely dangerous.

i believe that motorcycles arent that dangerous... they are only dangerous when you do stupid stuff, like speeding, stunds, wheelies on highways, etc.... and also when cars change lanes without checking their blindspots...

so now what should i do? i look at motorcycles on craigslist almost everyday. i know i cant afford any of them, but i enjoy just looking at them. i love biking too. i bike around the city with my friends. i think its just awesome to ride and balance on two wheels. Im not the type of guy who would do stunts, and go way above the speed limit. I want to be the average safe biker who obeys the law...

ok anyways.. going a bit off topic.........................
how can i convince my mom to let me get a motorcycle? i am old enough to get my motorcycle license. im 18 and i got my drivers license already...

wow my mom is so overprotective she wouldnt even let me drive by myself to a place thats more than 20 minutes. Its really annoying, but i know she just wants me to be safe.

my dad lets me get a motorcycle, he actually told me that i should get a motorcycle cuz its fun and saves a lot of gas... unfortunatly my mom disagrees.

so how can i convince her to let me buy a motorcycle?

I currently commute 120 highway miles round trip to work each day. I drive a lifted SUV that gets 17 mpg and currently paying 0/month in gas. I usually drive 70-80 mph and hit a couple rabbits on the way to work (not much traffic). If I can buy a motorcycle to save on gas and to have a little fun, all the while paying as much as I currently do, I am totally going for it. I have a little experience on my dad's honda xr450.

What bike do you recommend for a beginner?

I currently drive 2200-2500 miles a month, is it really dangerous to be logging that many miles on a bike as a beginner?

What do you think about the on/offroad(enduro) bikes?

I am 6'5" tall and weigh 230lb, and I am solid. I don't want a small bike that I will be uncomfortable on.

I am debating whether getting a perhaps a Honda Rebel 250 or on the other extreme a CBR1000RR.

Do you know the MPGs/safety/any other information that I can use?

Any other bikes you might suggest?

Are those cool looking bowl-shaped chinstrap biker helmets safe?

FYI: I work at a base, so I WOULD be required to wear pants, and a bright DOT approved vest, helmet, etc.

ANY QUESTIONS/COMMENTS/SUGGESTIONS are VERY welcome!!

:D

My ex tells me that whenever my 13 yr old son is on the motorcycle with him he makes him wear a helmet. They even rode up and he did have a helmet on him. Afterwards, my son told me his dad only borrowed the helmet for my sake but he had never wore one any of the 5 or 6 times before. So my ex is lying straight to my face and putting my son in danger. But there is no law against being stupid. My son does not want me to say anything to his father because he feels caught in the middle and his dad would be mad at him. I can't afford to go out and buy a helmet (father already owes back child support for last 2 years).
Any suggestions?
I have posted on a free website. I cannot force my son to not ride when his dad insists on him to do so. Telling him he'll be grounded will only close the communication lines between me and my son and I don't want that.
Thanks for all the replies.
I have taken him to court basically can't get money out of man who won't work. Also can't force my son to wear helmet if I am not with him and dad doesnt care. I can talk with him, threaten him, and in the end he will do what his dad wants because he is with his dad that weekend and his dad gets mad at him. Courts say he has to go to his dads unless there is physical abuse and that does not count. No laws in Illinois and I can't move out of state unless courts allow it.

I was looking into getting a children's trailer for my bike to use for groceries and the occasional joy-ride for my dog. We have one but we don't have the thing you were supposed to put on the bike and attach the trailer to. It was on my dad's bike a few years ago right when it got stolen. Is it possible to attach it securely in any other way? We've asked at a local bike shop and they don't sell just the bolt.

mine was a trip on a little ninja 250 10 hours out into the desert. Valves way out of whack and had to sleep in a public restroom. Had to climb emory peak to get cell phone reception and got caught on top after sunset, had to climb down the mountain by sparking a lighter over and over again for light. Brother drove out and his car broke down. Dad drove out and made it. I was able to find a room, maxed out a 300 dollar credit card. to do it. It had come in the mail right before the trip. Otherwise, I was broke.

I want to get into it, for now I don't want to use spray guns as I only want to spray motorcycle parts which are relatively small and I've been advised by my girlfriend's father to use aerosols (He used to spray all sorts of vehicles). I just want to know the best way to do it in the most affordable way cause at the moment I just wanna experiment. I bought a Yamaha R125 hugger from eBay the other day so I want to practice on that first, but i'd like to move onto bike fairing etc, I've looked about and noticed that you have to have the right kind of paint to apply to the material you're spraying on, so if anyone could give me a quick step-by-step guide that'd be excellent. The girlfriend's dad has given me a few pointers but I don't wanna hassle him about it too much and I've looked on Yahoo Answers but haven't found the right solution for myself yet.

I have been fascinated w/ motorcycles since i was a young kid.I wanted 1 so badly i told my parents i'll get 1 when i became old enough & they just smiled. Now i'm 18, have a job & saved enough money to buy myself one...but they wouldn't allow me to have one. I took The MSF coarse,Passed it w/ flying colors, bought all my safety gear(helmet boots Gloves & Jacket) in advance. They told me that this day will come & they're afraid that i might get hurt or even killed. Dad won't talk to me; Mom was crying. They even offered to co-sign a brand new car, but i told them that i'm set on the bike.And i told them that i'm a safe& responsible rider(even showed them my gear+ my MSF test Results) but they still wouldn't budge.Even my best buddies dropped by to educate them about riding safety; but to no avail.Why are my parents so not fair about this? Please help...I don't know what to do, i never wanted a car or any 4 wheeled vehicle for that matter...just a motorcycle. Thank You & God Bless...
